It was an absolutely stunning location and the staff when out of their way to be helpful. Food at the restaurant was great, activities they offered were a delight and we could not recommend it highly enough. The rooms were beautifully laid out and private. You will not regret booking this!

I had a great overnight stay at Majagua. They have 2 beaches conveniently located on the property with different vines. They have great food options at the restaurant. My room was also super comfortable and nice. Highly recommend staying here if you’re visiting the island.

We loved our time at this property. We didn't utilize the eco tours. We rented bikes one day but honestly there isn't very good signage indicating which dirt path goes where so we turned around. The staff and the hotel are great, the food is fantastic and we were blessed with great weather.

Staff was nice and they work hard to make you happy, however, a lot of improvement in the facility is needed. There’s no hot water at all. You need to take cold showers. The water pressure is also minimal. Rooms are fine, but the entire hotel is under construction so it’s very noisy all day. There’s nothing to do there other than two tiny beaches (enough to fit like 6 chairs each). No pools, no gift shops like the they say, not even different restaurants/ food. You get stuck in an island with the same food starting at a super tiny beach and that’s all. Not worth it at all.

Very low standard! Unresponsive! Hotels.com awful!
Our stay was very unsatisfactory. For the very high price paid we received: (1) rooms unfit for 4 persons and totally unprepared, (2) no hot water at all and/or very low pressure cold water, (3) no reaction from the hotel for 3 days as to our complaints (!), (4) nobody from hotel spoke English, (5) 2-hours long check-in, (6) the entire "paradisal" facility under construction, (7) dirty sunbeds and many more. Problem 1. In one bungalow we found the room with beds for only 3 people (1 double bed and 1 single bed). The hotel's solution was absurd! They added an extra bed to one of the bungalows. Since the bungalows are very small, the bed was placed in the middle of the room. The bed obstructed the access to the wardrobe and to the bathroom! The coffee table was moved to the bathroom! The entire room looked like a one big bed (see the photo)! Also another room is not suitable for a stay of 4 people. Although formally there was a couch which could allow for additional 2 people to stay, the standard is unacceptable. Two people must “cross each other” and the beds were extremely short. Problem 2. For 3 days the hotel was not able to provide us hot water. Problem 3. For 3 days after the complaint nobody bothered to contact us. ONLY after we decided to make a scene (which was very unpleasant), the manager magically showed up and after hours of shouting, gave us around 17% discount. Also hotels.com was extremely unhelpful. They simply accepted the hotel's position.

Great under the circumstances!
This is the best you are going to get on this island I think. The staff was great except of a couple of the eco-guides who have serious machismo attitude. Jeffrey was amazing though who took us to see the bioluminescent plankton. Also Andreas with the snorkeling team.

This is a unique location and experience. Due to the remoteness of the island, the services and options are limited. We spent 2 nights at the hotel which was more than enough. We saw mostly day trippers come to the island. The boat services to/from Cartagena is a bit of a hassle, there is no flexibility in the schedule and you can only leave or come at the same time every day if you are not willing to hire your own charter. I thought the food at the restaurant was fine but can get boring with no other options. I highly recommend doing a canoe tour of the mangroves, getting a massage and exploring the island and other resorts on foot. The island and beaches are stunning.

Very enjoyable stay
We very much enjoyed our stay at the Hotel San Pedro de Majagua. We selected this hotel based on the article in the Travel&Leisure magazine, which listed it as the best place to stay on the island. It's a beautiful property with only 17 bungalows with a wide range of activities (snorkeling, kayaking, massage, etc.) being easily arranged and well executed). We travel a lot and typically stay at somewhat upscale accommodations and were happy with our stay on all fronts. In addition to great accommodations, the hotel's restaurant is wonderful with a large variety of fresh caught seafood dishes. We ate there lunches and dinners in addition to a good breakfast included. Hotel stuff is very nice and helpful. Eveline, who is the best English speaker on site, at the front desk is wonderful. She is always ready to help and does it very efficient always with a smile on her face. The hotel is lucky to have her as an employee. Jader, the captain in charge of the restaurant, is also very helpful. We had some work being done in front of our bungalow when we arrived. Eveline immediately took care of this issue moving us to the more spacious upgraded room (without any additional pay) for the remainder of our stay. Would definitely stay at the hotel if we come back. Very much recommended.

I visited the restaurant on a night when I did not have accommodation. The waiter told me I wasn’t able to sit any of the many free tables in the ‘guest’ section. Instead they showed me to a section where I had to sit away from everyone else, alone- but in line of sight of the main section. The section I was seated in had no music, no table cloths and a stray dog who sat next to me. The waiter didn’t make any effort to remove the stray dog until asked. Even though it was sitting in between us as he took my order.

This was hands down the most relaxing portion of our Cartagena trip! The staff were friendly and welcoming, the room was comfortable, the snorkeling and bioluminescent swimming experiences were great. We enjoyed the beach as well as the massages we received. Transportation to and from the island was easily arranged through the hotel. We would highly recommend to anyone.
